International Ms Bootblack 2011 kd diamond is an accomplished artist: and she’s also a card-carrying leather fetishist. In this episode, kd opens up her boot care kit and lets us peek inside. We learn how integral bootblacks are to the Leather Scene, and how taking care of leather clothes can represent service, worship, or simply hot kinky sex.
